For more options, look at the help from Open SSH:
ssh-keygen ?
1. If the keys do not exist, select the Key Type and the key’s Bit Size from the
Create New Keys section. Click Submit to create new private and public host
keys.
Note: Generating new keys with a large bit size results in longer key generation
times.
2. Click SSH
SSH Server: Authorized Users at the top of the page. The SSH
Server: Authorized Users page appears.
3. Enter the Username and Password for authorized users.
4. If available: locate the Public RSA Key or the Public DSA Key file by clicking
Browse. Configuring a public key results in public key authentication; this
bypasses password queries.
Note: When uploading the security keys, ensure the keys are not compromised in
transit.
SSH Client Configuration
To configure the XPort Pro as an SSH client, there is one requirement:
An SSH client user is configured and also exists on the remote SSH server.
To configure SSH client settings:
1. Click SSH
SSH Client: Users at the top of the page. The SSH Client: Users
page appears.
2. (Required) Enter the Username and Password to authenticate with the SSH
server.
3. (Optional) Complete the SSH client user information as necessary. The Private
Key and Public Key automate the authentication process; when configured and
the user public key is known on the remote SSH server, the SSH server does not
require a password. (Or, generate new keys using the Create New Keys
section.) The Remote Command is provided to the SSH server upon
connection. It specifies the application to execute upon connection. The default is
a command shell.
Note: Configuring the SSH client’s known hosts is optional. It prevents Man-In-The-
Middle (MITM) attacks.
